WHAT WE NEED IN WARD 7

​DAVID GUERIN
City Council Candidate – Ward 7
Smart Growth. Safe Neighbourhoods. Strong Community.
​
Ward 7 is a growing, family-focused part of Cambridge with both established neighbourhoods and rapidly expanding communities. Let’s build a stronger Ward 7 — together.

SAFE, STRONG NEIGHBOURHOODS

The  Need:
Residents want communities that feel safe, connected, and cared for.

​My Commitment:
  • Traffic calming near schools and parks
  • Stronger bylaw enforcement and community safety
  • Investment in parks, trails, and neighbourhood spaces

​SMART GROWTH & NEW SUBDIVISIONS


​The Challenge:
Growth is happening faster than infrastructure, services, and planning.

My Commitment:
  • “Infrastructure First” — roads, sidewalks, parks, and services must keep pace
  • Safe, complete streets (sidewalks, crossings, bike access)
  • Transparent use of development charges to benefit Ward 7

HOUSING & AFFORDABILITY

The Challenge:
Families are feeling the pressure of rising costs and limited options.

My Commitment:
  • Support a mix of housing types for all income levels
  • Encourage family-friendly and accessible housing
  • Balance growth with livability and community needs

NEW RECREATION COMPLEX AND SCHOOLS
